Table 2. Hip and pelvic angles.
Angle (in degrees) | Natural standing | Forward step | Forward step with ADIM |
---|---|---|---|
Right hip flexion | 3.3 ± 5.2 | 10.1 ± 6.2* | 10.2 ± 6.8* |
Left hip extension | 1.5 ± 5.1 | −7.3 ± 7.3* | −10.6 ± 6.8*† |
Pelvic tilt | 11.5 ± 4.2 | 11.8 ± 3.3 | 11.3 ± 4.7 |
Pelvic oblique | 1.2 ± 1.8 | −2.0 ± 2.0* | −1.8 ± 2.3* |
Pelvic rotation | 0.6 ± 2.6 | −4.8 ± 3.9* | −3.7 ± 3.9*† |
Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *Significant difference compared with natural standing. †Significant difference compared with forward step. ADIM, abdominal drawing-in manoeuvre
